Ashpal - Alternative Investments

The questions to be addressed will be why and over what time scale will this occur.

Cash for clunkers has been a huge plus for them in the past few months but it really doesn't mean anything in terms of the big picture. FYI, cash for clunkers is a program where people trade in their old gas guzzling machines for up to $4000 for a new environmentally friendly vehicle. It was a program put together by the US government to help the US auto industry and to reduce emissions.

Greetings: Mr. X

Since this is the first entry of the group blog, I’ll do some introductions here (you can look under the profile section if anyone wants to stalk us further). Followers of the previously solo-blog might even know me as Mr X. A bit about myself, I’m a Northwestern University undergraduate majoring in Electrical Engineering, Economics and possibly, Computer Engineering. I will be participating in the Kellogg Certificate Program for Undergraduates for Financial Economics, which supposedly is a highly selective program, in the next academic year.
